We heard back from Uncle Sam @ the IRS: MARCH is finally a federal 501(c)3 non-profit
charity.
It took 9 years of prognosticating and 1 year of actual work. :)
We needed to file using a different name than "Mid-Atlantic Retro Computing
Hobbyists" so that's the other big piece of news here. Our charity's official
name is:
Wait for it .........
"Vintage Computer Federation".
We'll continue to do business as MARCH. The new name, which happens to have the
abbreviation "VCF" (get it? -- and yes we got permission from Sellam and from
Erik K.), allows us to potentially expand beyond just being a regional computer club. Stay
tuned for more announcements about this. :)

Correct. We briefed them both on our plans several months ago and
they're both on board.
Also, a technicality that I neglected to say earlier: MARCH didn't
"become" the Federation; instead the Federation is a new entity,
legally-speaking.

Evan clearly mentioned that he got Sellam's and Erik Klein's(sp?) OK on
the name.

From past experience, probably not.
